GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

A keen contest with Vjunok and Nektar leading from Alma Rosario. RYUNO MAGICIAN (6) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1200m when he was beaten a head. Well placed and sure to run well. NEKTAR (3) was in the money two starts back then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to be thereabouts early. Overdue and looks well placed to break the ice. ALMA ROSARIO (11) was below her best last time when 12th over 1200m at this track. Can turn things around. SUGURETAMONOGA INA (5) finished ninth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on June 11 after he was well back on straightening. Should be about the money here.
